BRC-6
< SERVICE INFORMATION >[VDC/TCS/ABS]
PRECAUTIONS
 If the following components are replaced with non-genui
ne components or converted, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorber, strut, spring, bushing, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (pad, rotor, caliper, etc. ), components related to engine (muffler, ECM, etc.),
components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
 Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly.
 When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden accele ration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
 When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (s uch as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate nor mally, or VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indi-
cator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restart-
ing engine.
 Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns) , drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
SW ON) may cause the G sensor system indicate a malf unction. However, this is not a malfunction, if nor-
mal operation can be resumed after restarting engine.
 Change 4 tires at a time. Be sure to use specified- size tires that have the same brand name and pattern.
Wheel sensor errors can be detected be self-diagnosis when tires have wide abrasion variations or the size
is different from the genuine tires.

Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesINFOID:0000000001328449
1.CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates onl y during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionINFOID:0000000001328450
1.QUESTION 1
Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition swit ch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the c haracteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3.QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4.QUESTION 4
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-21, "Electrical Component Inspection".
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.
